On this second day of Yule, our minds turn to Justice. In this wolf age that surrounds us, the sickness of forced “equality” is used as a cudgel against accomplishment and beauty. In the AFA, we know that no one, and nothing, is equal. All are different, all are unique. Worth and accomplishment, or lack thereof, earn different rewards. The ability to become more than we are offers hope and incentivizes great deeds. Let us treat our fellows as men and not as numbers. Let us celebrate the hero and scorn the villain. In our own lives, and in our spheres, let us be Just and seek Justice in the world we are creating. As we celebrate, let us think with love and compassion on our brothers and sisters facing colossal injustice in South Africa because of our shared blood and ancestors. We see, we know, and we care.

Today we celebrate the first day of Yule. Each day we will share the Twelve Days of Yule videos from our founder, Steve McNallen. These videos are a holiday tradition that we have all grown to love and look forward to over the years. Each day is focused on a special theme and the first is Industriousness. The AFA has accomplished so much over the last 12 months, the growth and the success is astonishing. The development and victories of our AFA Kindreds is beyond what any could have imagined. The evolution and refinement of our individual members has been an inspiration to us all. These accomplishments are the result of blood, sweat and tears. These accomplishments are a testament to Industriousness. Thank you to every member of our AFA family for your hard work and dedication. A special thanks the the volunteers, the Folkbuilders and the Gothar for all the time and effort that you all put in to make our church worthy of our noble Folk and our holy Gods. Your Industriousness is much appreciated.
